Technical field
The present invention relates to method of counting, counting device for the counting object in cell culture processes, cell culture apparatus and the container of the cells of culturing cell, tissue, microorganism etc.
Background technology
In recent years, in fields such as the production of pharmaceuticals, gene therapy, regenerative medicine, immunotherapy, require under artificial environment efficiently, culturing cell, tissue, microorganism etc. in large quantities.
In a large amount of cultivations of this cell, particularly when cultivating suspension cell, it is comparatively general using the stir culture of the culture tank that possesses agitating wing usually.But, particularly form under the situation of cohesion piece limit proliferating cells at the cell that is subjected to the external force damage easily or limit, widespread use is not used agitating wing and cell is enclosed in the culture vessel, leave standstill (cell sinks under the state of bottom surface), cultivate, along with the propagation of cell, transfer in the bigger container of floorage or increase the method for container number.But, leave standstill in the cultivation at this, exist when the cell condensation piece increases along with the propagation of cell, the oxygen of each cell and the supply of nutritive ingredient are become not enough, the problem that proliferate efficiency descends gradually.
In addition, when transfer vessel, though can first stir culture liquid and the inequality of oxygen and nutritive ingredient is eliminated,, the damage that when existing because of each jump operation cell is produced makes the problem of proliferate efficiency decline.
On the other hand, also extensively carry out the shaking culture that often culture vessel stirred.
For example, according to the cell culture apparatus described in the patent documentation 1, can make the platform motion of loading culture vessel with various patterns such as rotation, vibrations, thereby can the nutrient solution in the culture vessel be stirred.
In addition, the cell culture apparatus described in patent documentation 2 and the patent documentation 3 adopts following mechanism: the liquid nutrient medium in the culture vessel is vibrated in the mode that does not produce bubble, supply with oxygen so that cell does not produce damage by fluctuation.
By the oscillation method of these cell culture apparatus, whole substratum is stirred tempestuously, so cell separates separately scatteredly, and oxygen and nutritive ingredient are diffused into integral body, can supply to each cell fully.
In addition, in such cell cultures, the propagation of needs cooperation cell maintains the density of the cell in the nutrient solution in the suitable scope.
That is, when the cell density in the nutrient solution is excessive, can not supply with the sufficient oxygen of each cell and nutrition, the cell proliferation decrease in efficiency.In addition, the cell density in the nutrient solution is too small also can not get sufficient proliferate efficiency.
Therefore, when cell cultures, in order in cultivation, to hold cell density, need the cell count in the nutrient solution in the suitable instrumentation culture vessel.
For example, the cell culture apparatus that the propagation that can cooperate cell is suitably kept the cell density in the nutrient solution is disclosed in the patent documentation 4.
When using such cell culture apparatus to carry out the instrumentation of cell count, adopted following method in the past: from culture vessel in the sampling that links to each other with mouthful gather the nutrient solution that contains culturing cell, after the damping fluid of adding regulation is adjusted to the density that is suitable for measuring the cell in the nutrient solution, inject tally, read its quantity by artificial or machinery, thereby calculate cell density.
In addition, the culture apparatus that possesses the shooting unit is disclosed in the patent documentation 5.According to this culture apparatus, can regularly obtain cell image and preservation.

The formation of<cell condensation piece 〉
Here, as shown in Figure 4, during cell cultures, according to the difference of cell category, there is the size that is suitable for cultured cells cohesion piece.
That is, culturing cell has following character: the split speed of individual cells is low, and adhesion just begins sufficient division after forming certain cohesion piece mutually.
Common leaving standstill in the cultivation, under the low state of the cell density at the initial stage of cultivation, cell adheres to by diffusion and forms the cohesion piece gradually, but its speed is slow.
Therefore, in the past at the cultivation initial stage, for example use microwell plate that cell is assembled to high-density at a position and make cell be easy to adhere to, perhaps use the container of low capacity and use bigger container along with the propagation of cell, cultivate when cell density from descending preventing thus.
Relative therewith, in the present embodiment, make the cell that floats on the bottom surface in the culture vessel 11 mobile energetically by stirring, improve the probability that adhesion takes place between the cell thus, thereby can form the cohesion piece of appropriate size quickly.
Thus, according to the cell culture processes of the cell culture apparatus 10 that uses present embodiment, can be when cell cultures begins, when the state of the single dispersion of cell, make cells contacting and promote the formation of the cohesion piece of appropriate size, thereby can improve cell proliferation efficient.
In addition, the initial stage (during inoculation) that the formation control of such cell condensation piece is not limited to cultivate, for example in the cultivation of cell, culture vessel 11 is applied situation inferior also being fit to that excessive external force, result causes condensing piece disintegration, the single dispersion of cell and carry out, can improve cell proliferation efficient.
The decomposition of<cell condensation piece 〉
On the other hand, when the cell condensation piece is excessive, oxygen and the under-nutrition of cohesion piece inside, proliferate efficiency descends.

Need to prove that thickness adjustment means 51 is not limited to the pressing plate that planar section is pressed culture vessel 11 that passes through shown in Figure 8, also can use roller, tractive member and constitute.
For example, utilize roller to clamp culture vessel 11 and movement from up and down two sides or a side, make the horizontal area minimizing of culture vessel 11, can increase the thickness of culture vessel 11 thus.On the contrary, also can reduce the thickness of culture vessel 11 by the horizontal area that increases culture vessel 11.In addition, by using tractive member along continuous straight runs stretching culture vessel 11, also can reduce the thickness of culture vessel 11.
Loading stage 13 is the platforms for the plane of mounting culture vessel 11, constitutes the stowage unit of counting usefulness with thickness adjustment means 51.
The below part of the determination object scope of this loading stage 13 is made of transparent members such as sheet glass 56, can observe culture vessel 11 from the below by taking unit 52.
Drive unit 53 moves up and down thickness adjustment means 51 by ball screw as shown in Figure 8.Thus, thickness adjustment means 51 is pressed to the culture vessel 11 on the loading stage 13, thereby can regulate the thickness of culture vessel 11.
This drive unit 53 for example can use bar type electric cylinder (movement in vertical direction action actuator device), thus, can regulate the thickness of culture vessel 11 with 0.01 millimeter level subtly.
In addition, drive unit 54 makes shooting unit 52 move with respect to loading stage 13 along continuous straight runs by ball screw as shown in Figure 8.By this drive unit 54, when the cell in the culture vessel 11 is taken beyond, make and take the outside that unit 52 is disposed at loading stage 13, when taking, can make take unit 52 move to culture vessel 11 the determination object scope below.

Illumination 55 sees through thickness adjustment means 51 and illuminates determination object scope in the culture vessel 11, provides to take unit 52 and take the required brightness of cells.In addition, this moment the optical transmission amount according to the thickness of the nutrient solution after regulating and difference, it is poor that the image of shooting can produce light and shade, therefore, preferably carries out the adjusting of light quantity according to the thickness of nutrient solution.
Culture vessel 11 can use the culture vessel same with first embodiment.
Below, the example of the counting that utilizes present embodiment being regulated the thickness of culture vessel 11 with device with reference to figure 9 and Figure 10 describes.Fig. 9 represents to reduce the situation of container thickness, and Figure 10 represents to increase the situation of container thickness.
Under the situation of the thickness that reduces culture vessel 11, the thickness of container is regulated except mode shown in Figure 8, for example, shown in Fig. 9 (a), can be undertaken by pressing thickness adjustment means 51 from the below of culture vessel 11.Need to prove that though illustrate, this moment is preferably with the top stationkeeping with culture vessel 11 such as sheet glass.
In addition, but under the situation that culture vessel 11 is made by the material of horizontal stretch, shown in Fig. 9 (b), also can use whole the thickness adjustment means 51 that can cover culture vessel 11 to press the thickness that culture vessel 11 reduces culture vessel 11.In addition, shown in Fig. 9 (c), also can utilize thickness adjustment means 51 stretching culture vessels 11 to reduce its thickness.In this case, can adopt the constituting of the fixing edge that utilizes the thickness adjustment means 51 tractive horizontal direction opposition sides that constituted by the tractive member simultaneously of an end at the edge of culture vessel 11, perhaps also can adopt two of horizontal direction by using two thickness adjustment means 51 tractive culture vessels 11 to bring in the formation of stretching culture vessel 11.Material as the culture vessel 11 of such softness for example can use silicone rubber etc.
In addition, shown in Fig. 9 (d), also can use roller etc. as thickness adjustment means 51, by moving it, the horizontal area of culture vessel 11 be increased, thereby reduce the thickness of culture vessel 11.
On the other hand, under the situation of the thickness that increases culture vessel 11, for example, shown in Figure 10 (e), can utilize thickness adjustment means 51 to press the top part of culture vessel 11, the thickness of the part part in addition that is pressed of culture vessel 11 is increased.
In addition, shown in Figure 10 (f), also can use roller etc. as thickness adjustment means 51, by moving it, the horizontal area of culture vessel 11 be reduced, thereby increase the thickness of culture vessel 11.
Below, illustrate in greater detail the method for counting of the counting object in the container of present embodiment with reference to figure 8.
At first, before the step of the cell count in instrumentation culture vessel 11, preferably the nutrient solution in the culture vessel 11 is stirred.Need to prove, about the agitating unit of nutrient solution, in the 5th embodiment, describe in detail.
Then, use drive unit 54, make and take the below that unit 52 moves to the determination object scope of culture vessel 11.
Then, use drive unit 53, thickness adjustment means 51 is descended, the thickness of culture vessel 11 is adjusted to the thickness of regulation.
At this moment, the area of the size of the kind that the thickness of regulation can be by cell, culture vessel, determination object scope and incubation time etc. obtain various values.
Then, utilize illumination 55 to illuminate the determination object scope, and utilize shooting unit 52 to take.Then, the cell on the image that photographs of counting.At this moment, send the image that photographs from taking unit 52 to counting unit, by this counting unit instrumentation cell count automatically.As such counting unit, can use known cell scaler analyzer, cell count measuring device etc.
Here, in the present embodiment, by using proportion less than the nutrient solution of culturing cell, make culturing cell be deposited to the bottom of culture vessel 11, can take them by making the cell of precipitation in focus of taking the unit.But, under the situation of the cell overlap in, the determination object scope big at cell density, counting cells number exactly.
Therefore, in the method for counting of the counting object in the container of present embodiment, under the situation of the cell overlap in determination object scope like this, by thickness adjustment means 51 being moved reduce the thickness of culture vessel 11, thereby reduce the cell count of instrumentation object, can the instrumentation cell.
Need to prove, can think not overlapping and maximum cell number that can observe is about the number that obtains divided by the mean level (ML) area of culturing cell less than the area with the determination object scope in the determination object scope.Therefore, be that cell count is calculated as under this situation more than maximum cell number in Cytometric result, the thickness that preferably further reduces culture vessel 11 is counted again.In addition, also can infer the quantity when cell is closely arranged more accurately in the determination object scope, use this presumed value as the maximum cell number etc., other values are used for judging whether to carry out the thickness adjusting of culture vessel 11.
In addition, be under the situation of cell count less than certain value in Cytometric result, because the precision of the cell density of gained reduces, therefore, count again after preferably increasing the thickness of culture vessel 11.Instrumentation device about such thickness that makes culture vessel 11 increases describes in detail in the 6th embodiment.
So during the cell count in the instrumentation determination object scope, by with the volume of this cell count divided by the determination object scope, can calculate cell density.And then, multiply by the volume of culture vessel 11 by the cell density with gained, can calculate the cell count of culture vessel 11 integral body.
The cell count of such cell density and culture vessel 11 integral body also can automatically be calculated by counting unit.
Like this, according to present embodiment, even the cell count in culture vessel 11 is many, when directly observing culture vessel 11 exactly under the situation of instrumentation cell count, also can come the instrumentation cell count by the thickness that reduces culture vessel, thereby can calculate the cell density in the culture vessel 11.

Thus, can the nutrient solution in the culture vessel 11 be stirred, thereby the culturing cell in the culture vessel 11 is disperseed in the mode that is easy to count.
[the 6th embodiment]
Below, with reference to Figure 12~Figure 16 the method for counting of the counting object in the container of the 6th embodiment of the present invention and counting are described with device.These figure be represent respectively in the method for counting of the counting object in the container of present embodiment counting with home position (Figure 12), whipped state (Figure 13), the thickness of device regulate and wait for precipitation state (will reduce under the situation of the cell of counting, Figure 14), microscopic examination state (Figure 15), thickness is regulated and wait for the synoptic diagram of the state that precipitates (will increase under the situation of the cell of counting, Figure 16).
The counting device of present embodiment is except the counting of the 5th embodiment is used the formation of device.Also possesses the thickness adjustment means that increases be used to the thickness that makes culture vessel 11.Other aspects can be same with the 5th embodiment.
Below, with the working order of device, the operation that the operation that the thickness that makes culture vessel 11 is increased and the thickness that makes culture vessel 11 reduce is included to be described for the counting in the method for counting of the counting object in the container of present embodiment.
(1) home position
At first, describe with reference to the counting of the present embodiment of Figure 12 home position with the integrant of device.
Among this Figure 12, be provided with the spy hole of observation by microscope at loading stage 13, the top of this spy hole is inlaid with the sheet glass 56 of a top part that constitutes loading stage 13.
Culture vessel 11 is configured on the loading stage 13, and the top of the spy hole of this loading stage 13 disposes thickness adjustment means 51-1 (pressing plate).This thickness adjustment means 51-1 is mobile downwards, presses culture vessel 11, and its thickness is reduced.
In addition, an end at the edge of culture vessel 11 disposes thickness adjustment means 51-2 (roller), by moving it, can reduce the horizontal area of culture vessel 11, thereby increases thickness.
In addition, the top of culture vessel 11 disposes agitating member 14 (roller), by make this agitating member 14 downwards under the mobile state that is pressed on the culture vessel 11 along continuous straight runs move, can stir the nutrient solutions in the culture vessel 11.
In addition, when home position, the outside of loading stage 13 disposes microscope 52-1 and the CCD camera 52-2 of the shooting unit 52 that is configured for taking cell and throws light on 55.
(2) whipped state
Below, describe with reference to the order that before the counting of Figure 13 for the number of the counting object in carrying out container the nutrient solution in the culture vessel 11 is stirred.
At first, make agitating member 14 mobile from the home position of Figure 12 downwards, press culture vessel 11 with the amount of being pressed into of regulation.Then, this agitating member 14 is moved abreast repeatedly with the speed of regulation and circulation and the loading stage 13 of regulation.
Thus, can stir the nutrient solutions in the culture vessel 11, thereby make cell equalization in the nutrient solution.
(3) state (reducing under the situation of thickness) of precipitation is regulated and waited for to thickness
Below, thereby reduce to make the hypocellular order of counting to describe with reference to Figure 14 for the thickness that makes culture vessel 11.
At first, agitating member 14 is moved upward and turns back to the home position of Figure 12, and make thickness adjustment means 51-1 mobile downwards, the thickness of culture vessel is reduced.At this moment, by thickness adjustment means 51-1 the part of the culture vessel 11 in the zone on the spy hole that comprises loading stage 13 is pressed, the thickness of the determination object scope of culture vessel 11 is adjusted to the size of regulation.At this moment, under culture environment, the thickness of culture vessel 11 is more little, more can reduce the cell of counting.
After the thickness of culture vessel 11 was reduced, the cells that leave standstill to the culture vessel 11 precipitated.
(4) microscopic examination state
Below, describe carrying out Cytometric order with reference to Figure 15.
Cell under the state that the thickness that makes culture vessel 11 reduces in the culture vessel 11 has carried out post precipitation, as shown in figure 15, make the shooting unit 52 that is constituted by microscope 52-1 and CCD camera 52-2 and the 55 home position along continuous straight runs from Figure 12 that throw light on move, make take unit 52 be disposed at spy hole under, make illumination 55 be disposed at the top of spy hole.Then, take by the cell of precipitation in the culture vessel 11 of CCD camera 52-2.
The image that obtains like this is input in the not shown counting mechanism, by the cell count in this counting device determining image, with the cell count of the gained volume divided by determination object scope (zone of the culture vessel 11 that is observed by CCD camera 52-2), can calculate the cell density in the culture vessel 11 thus.
Thus, even the cell proliferation in culture vessel 11, when under original thickness, precipitating, under the situation that overlaps and can't count exactly, also can count by the thickness of regulating culture vessel 11, thereby can under the situation that need not the open culture system, calculate cell density in the culture vessel 11.
(5) state (under the situation that increases thickness) of precipitation is regulated and waited for to thickness
On the other hand, in the initial stage of cultivating etc., because cell count is few, though therefore can count, the precision of the cell density of gained reduces sometimes.
Therefore, under the few situation of the cell count that observes, as shown in figure 16, the thickness of culture vessel 11 is increased, cell count in the determination object scope is increased after, carry out microscopic examination of explanation in (4).
Namely, after the stirring of (2), agitating member 14 is moved upward and turns back to the home position of Figure 12, make the thickness adjustment means 51-2 that is constituted by roller move and culture vessel 11 is pressed along determination object scope direction, the thickness of culture vessel 11 is increased.At this moment, for the thickness that makes the determination object scope in the culture vessel 11 keeps certain, make thickness adjustment means 51-1 move on the determination object scope top position contacting with culture vessel 11.Then, the cells that leave standstill to the culture vessel 11 precipitate.
Thus, the cell count in the determination object scope is increased, under the few situation of the cell count in culture vessel 11, can calculate cell density more accurately.
Cell count concrete cell count after a little while in the culture vessel 11 suitably determines according to the kind of cell, the area of determination object scope etc., for example can be set at 0 or less than numbers such as 10.
Need to prove, according to the sequential adjustment of above-mentioned (1)~(5) behind the thickness of culture vessel 11, in the determination object scope, observe the overlapping of cell or do not observe cell or almost do not observe under the situation of cell, according to the thickness of the sequential adjustment culture vessel 11 of (1)~(5), carry out the counting of cell count more again.
Thus, according to present embodiment, cell count in culture vessel 11 is few, may can not get when directly observing culture vessel 11 increasing by the thickness that makes culture vessel under the situation of cell density accurately, can calculate the cell density in the culture vessel 11 more accurately.
Embodiment
Below, the embodiment that the cell culture apparatus 10 that uses first embodiment is carried out cell cultures describes.At first, with reference to Figure 17 and Figure 18 the degree of the stirring under various culture condition and each situation is described.Figure 17 is the figure that the kind of the agitation condition that the cell culture apparatus 10 of present embodiment carries out is used in expression, and Figure 18 is the result's of the cell state under each agitation condition conclusion figure.
In the cultural method of the present invention, as shown in figure 17, use agitating member 14 to press culture vessel 11 from the top, make this agitating member 14 mobile abreast with respect to loading stage 13, thus the substratum in the culture vessel 11 is stirred.
The amount of being pressed into when this agitating member 14 is pressed to culture vessel 11 can be got various values, but for example as shown in Figure 17, is under the situation of 10.5mm at the thickness of culture vessel 11, can get 2mm, 4mm, 6mm, 8mm equivalence.
Then, the translational speed of regulating agitating member 14 respectively according to the amount of being pressed into respectively is controlled to be the stirring of the formation that is suitable for the cell condensation piece with the stirring of the nutrient solution in the culture vessel 11 thus or is suitable for the stirring of the decomposition of cell condensation piece.
As the translational speed of agitating member 14, for example as shown in Figure 17, can get 2.5mm/ second, 12.5mm/ second, 50mm/ equivalence second.
Need to prove, the diameter of agitating member 14 is not particularly limited, but stir for control exactly that preferably the thickness setting with respect to culture vessel 11 is 0.5 times~3.0 times.
Figure 18 is illustrated in when stirring under the above-mentioned agitation condition, and which kind of degree the nutrient solution in the culture vessel 11 is stirred to respectively.
As shown in Figure 18, the amount of being pressed into be 2mm and translational speed be 2.5mm/ second, 12.5mm/ during second and the amount of being pressed into be that 4mm and translational speed are 2.5mm/ during second, the cells in the culture vessel 11 all are the precipitation state.
In this specification sheets, such stirring is called " weak stirring ".By carrying out the stirring of such " weak stirring ", can promote the formation of cell condensation piece.
In addition, among Figure 18, when the amount of being pressed into be 2mm and translational speed be 50mm/ during second, the amount of being pressed into be 4mm and translational speed be 12.5mm/ second, 50mm/ during second, the amount of being pressed into be 6mm and translational speed be 2.5mm/ second, 12.5mm/ during second and the amount of being pressed into be that 8mm and translational speed are that 2.5mm/ is during second, nutrient solution in the culture vessel 11 is stirred to a certain degree, but cell is almost the precipitation state.In addition, when the amount of being pressed into be 6mm and translational speed be 50mm/ during second and the amount of being pressed into be that 8mm and translational speed are 12.5mm/ during second, the nutrient solutions in the culture vessel 11 are stirred to a certain degree, but cell substantially all floats.
In this specification sheets, such cell is called " middle stirring " for the stirring under the agitation condition of the boundary vicinity of the state of the state of basic precipitation and basic come-up.By carrying out the stirring of such " middle stirring ", can make not excessive decomposition and be adjusted to suitable size of cell condensation piece.
On the other hand, in Figure 18, when the amount of being pressed into is that 8mm and translational speed are 50mm/ during second, the nutrient solutions in the culture vessel 11 are stirred tempestuously, and cell all floats.In this specification sheets, the stirring that such cell is all floated is called " strong mixing ".When like this " strong mixing ", the cell condensation piece is decomposed into single cell dispersedly, and by carrying out " strong mixing " repeatedly, cell becomes suspended state, but cell when becoming the state of single dispersion proliferate efficiency descend on the contrary.
Stirring in the cell cultures is in the past normally carried out violent stirring to culture vessel, and the result is equivalent to carry out " strong mixing ", has the problem that causes proliferate efficiency to descend, but can eliminate such problem by the present invention.
Below, the method for counting by the counting object in the container of the present invention and counting are regulated the embodiment of instrumentation cell count behind the thickness of culture vessel 11 with device and do not regulated the thickness of culture vessel 11 and the comparative example of instrumentation cell count describes.

Use the roller of diameter 12mm as agitating member 14, in the amount of being pressed into 13mm, speed 50mm/ second, come and go under the agitation condition of number of times 10 times and stir.
After the stirring, make immediately by width 50mm, thickness 3mm, length to descend greater than the thickness adjustment means that the acrylic resin board on the long limit of culture vessel 11 constitutes, the thickness of bag is adjusted to 3.1mm.Then, leave standstill 12 minutes after, observation scope is taken, carry out the counting of cell count.In addition, according to the volume calculation cell density of this cell count and observation scope.The photo of taking is shown in Figure 20, and observation scope inner cell number, cell density, actual density and measured value ratio are shown in Figure 21.
Need to prove that actual density is by utilizing existing method, the cell count in the nutrient solution that usage count plate (OneCell Counter (OneCell corporate system)) instrumentation reclaims from bag obtains divided by the volume of observation scope with this cell count.
(comparative example 1)
Use culture vessel 11 and the nutrient solution identical with embodiment 1, under identical agitation condition, stir.
Then, do not regulate the bag thickness, leave standstill 60 minutes after, observation scope is taken.Because not to pressing above the bag, therefore produce wavy concavo-convexly, the thickness of bag is about 16mm.
In this case, can be observed the overlapping of cell, can't carry out the counting of cell count, also can't carry out the calculating of density.It the results are shown in Figure 20, Figure 21.
(embodiment 2)
Use the different nutrient solution of cell density and embodiment 1, and the thickness setting of bag is 11.0mm, time of repose afterwards is set at 45 minutes during the instrumentation cell count, in addition, experimentize similarly to Example 1.The kind of nutrient solution and culturing cell is identical with embodiment 1, but the nutrient solution that uses the culturing cell number to lack than embodiment 1 in the present embodiment.It the results are shown in Figure 22 and Figure 23.
(embodiment 3)
Except when the instrumentation cell count with the thickness setting of bag be 7.0mm, will after time of repose be set at 30 minutes, experimentize similarly to Example 2.It the results are shown in Figure 22 and Figure 23.
(embodiment 4)
Except when the instrumentation cell count with the thickness setting of bag be 4.0mm, will after time of repose be set at 12 minutes, experimentize similarly to Example 2.It the results are shown in Figure 22 and Figure 23.
(embodiment 5)
Except when the instrumentation cell count with the thickness setting of bag be 3.1mm, will after time of repose be set at 12 minutes, experimentize similarly to Example 2.It the results are shown in Figure 22 and Figure 23.
As Figure 20 and shown in Figure 21, not regulate in the comparative example 1 of bag thickness, cell overlaps, and can't count exactly.Need to prove that can not count can be that in fact imponderable situation and count results are the situation more than the prescribed value (the maximum cell number that can recognize) in observation scope.
Relative therewith, in embodiment 1, by reducing the thickness of bag, can the instrumentation cell count, thus can calculate cell density in the culture vessel 11.
In addition, as Figure 22 and shown in Figure 23, in embodiment 2~5, as can be known along with the reducing of bag thickness, the cell count of institute's instrumentation reduces.The density of the cell that calculates in addition, is the density of comparing no significant difference with actual density.
Therefore as can be known, under many, the incalculable situations of cell count, when cell density is more big, then reduce the thickness of bag more muchly, can carry out instrumentation to cell thus.
By these experimental results as can be known, according to the method for counting that uses counting of the present invention with the counting object in the container of device, can can calculate cell density need not the open culture system and not being subjected to the cell count in the instrumentation culture vessel under the situation of restriction of cell density.
The invention is not restricted to above embodiment, it is self-evident can carrying out various distortion enforcements within the scope of the invention.
For example, can carry out following suitable change: the mode that culture vessel 11 is constituted not produce the angle part makes the angle become the shape of circle or makes agitating member 14 to make cross section shown in Figure 17 be not different shapes such as star into cylindric, to obtain various mixing effects etc.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment and examples,, but be not limited thereto as the instrumentation object with culturing cell, for example also can be with other organisms such as planktonic organism or inorganics as the instrumentation object." liquid " in the culture vessel also comprises semi-fluid except liquid such as nutrient solution.In addition, can use than the heavy nutrient solution of culturing cell as the nutrient solution in the culture vessel 11, can make culturing cell be positioned at the top of culture vessel 11 thus, thereby it is counted.In addition, in the above-described embodiment and examples, not only can counting cells, fertility status that also can observation of cell etc.
Industrial applicability
The present invention can be applicable to fields such as the biological medicine of need cultivating a large amount of cells, regenerative medicine, immunotherapy.
